Think carefully before you make a commitment. I am a very serious teacher. I give my students 100% of my musical skills and passion. It's what they do with what they learn that makes the difference. I teach strings and voice (violin, viola, cello; fiddle, mandolin, guitar, bass and various folk vocal techniques). I teach ages from 4 to 84. My teaching style is gregarious and fun. Students tell me they learn a lot and I am an excellent teacher. I have a certificate in violin and viola from the New England Conservatory of Music (1980), and a Bachelor's in Music. I have been teaching both privately and in public schools since 1986.
